@MikeT14We’re also keeping Barber more than that just because he’s a short yardage specialist who is also a  good pass blocker and has decent hands. What seems to be lost by most in this forum, and really most fans in general judging by comments on Twitter is that no one really values special teams coverage units.
 

I went to the game last Saturday night and one thing that stood out to me like crazy is that Troy Apke is a great gunner. The guy just fly’s downfield on punt coverage, and that’s why he’s going to make this team. Barber is also a good kick coverage guy and I think he’s our personal protector on punts so, that’s another reason why he’s very likely to make this team.

Could other guys do those jobs? I suppose so, but it’s beyond clear that Apke & Barber are two of our best at it and our coaches have faith in them and value them in that role because special teams are very important to winning ballgames also.

Apke and Barber makes the cut. This just an projection.

Is it 17 or 18. Whatever the number is then I came up with a few more. 

David Sharpe

David Steinmetz

Beau Benzschaw

Gabe Wright

Bunmi Rotini

Jared Norris

Jared Kunaszyk

Darryl Roberts

Darrick Forrest

Danny Johnson

 

Then there is BADA, Toney, Tohill, Wise, Wright, Ismael and Martin. These has to be the final cuts but this is speculation. There should not be any surpurises I would think.

Based off one play? Clearly not a large enough sample size.

Seriously...a clip where Barber has to slide across the formation to block Patrick Queen and a clip where Patterson gets to stand in his own footprints and pick up Geno Stone? Come on, random guy on Twitter. Have a little more integrity than that.

It’s nice to see Patterson with a solid blitz pickup. I think he’s a lock too. I’m entirely unconvinced that he’s more reliable in pass pro than Barber. And I’m also entirely unconvinced that that’s the relevant question, anyway.

When it comes to Peyton Barber, what I think would be absolutely hilarious — in that much of the fanbase would instantly implode — is if he made it over Jaret Patterson. 

I don’t want that to happen, although I do expect them to keep Barber (against the wishes of most of the fanbase). But man, it would be funny to watch the comment sections melt down over the RB3 choice.

I am just laughing because it's the first thing that popped up on twitter when I opened it. Had to share it, especially because I had nothing else to back up the "he's good in pass protection" claim since he's our 3rd and 1 guy and not in on passing plays.
